Cedric Poole's extracts from the journals of John Wesley which are in the public domain. The extracts are from years which correspond with the day and date of the current year (2011). So when JW says it is Monday 5 Sept 17.., it is Monday 5 Sept, 2011 . Over the years I have found this to be an interesting way to read John Wesley's journals. I hope you do too.

They may be what they profess, but I wait for farther evidence.

Sat 4 Dec 1762: At the desire of Mr. Maxfield, and the seeming desire of themselves, I baptized two foreigners, (one of them in a Turkish habit,) who professed themselves to have been Turks. On this I then remarked, "They may be what they profess, but I wait for farther evidence. Their story is extremely plausible; it may be true, or it may not."

About Me

I sensed my call into the ministry in March,1976. Fulltime ministry however, was the last thing on my 16 year old mind and I decided to study dentistry and worked in private practice in Pietermaritzburg in South Africa until submitting to the call in 1994. I am a firm believer in the relevance of John Wesley's teachings and theology for the modern/postmodern era that we live in. My goal with this project is to bring the man described as a "Plain man for plain people" to as many plain people as possible.
